Decision in Al-Nashiri case

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit just handed down the judgment in In re Al-Nashiri, granting mandamus, vacating all of military commission Judge Vance Spath's orders on or after November 19, 2015, and vacating the decisions of the Court of Military Commission Review that reviewed those orders. The companion petition for a writ of mandamus in In re Spears & Eliades was dismissed as moot. The court's opinion was written by Judge David S. Tatel. It is available here.

  1. The opinion has some interesting and useful language for military justice practitioners on judge impartiality.
